Topographic Map WebQuest A Simpson’s Adventure

Contour Maps 1) Visit the Simpsons "Contour Map" Website: Click on this Link now. Answer the questions on your student page: a) What is the purpose of a contour map? b) What is the contour interval of the map that Marge drew for Homer? c) Under what circumstances might someone want to use or make a contour map, versus a regular relief map?

Spacing and Steepness 2) Simpsons "Spacing and Steepness" Website: Click on this Link now a) How can you determine if a side of a hill is steep or not by looking at a contour map? How can you tell if it has a gentle slope? b) When is the only time when contour lines on the map will overlap each other? c) Why is distance important when trying to determine the steepness of a hill on a contour map?

Depressions 3) Simpsons "Depressions" Website: Click Here What does a Hachured Contour tell someone looking at a contour map?
